“…Syrian refugees have affected Jordan's economy, labor market, and society in different ways. According to the ministry of planning and international cooperation (MOPIC), the direct and indirect costs of hosting Syrian refugees reached approximately $8 billion [195] (Fig. 7), and each refugee cost the Jordanian government almost $3,750 [196] b. Yemen has been dealing with the worst humanitarian crisis for 7 years, and more than 80% of the population requires aid [197].…”

Religion, governance, and politics - as well as related topics such as human rights, justice, and so on - have historically caused many of the world’s most significant conflicts, and they continue to do so because these issues are often the most fundamental in the structure of a society. To gain a military advantage, parties to armed conflicts have polluted water, burned crops, cut down forests, poisoned soils, and killed animals over the years. A variety of context factors, particularly socioeconomic conditions, governance, and political factors, interact and play a key role in translating climate change into conflict risks. The present unrest all over the world risks putting more than half of the countries into a crisis of health, economy, and social safety, which remains the most constant threat to human civilization. The security and safety of health-care facilities, workers, and supply lines remain paramount concerns, along with access to health services, technology, and innovation.

“…The failed international burden‐sharing system to support the host country has made it challenging for Türkiye to provide financially sustainable applications for refugee hosting. Indeed, due to the lack of legal authorization to obtain a formal work permit before 2016, most urban refugees have fueled the informal labour market (Kayaoglu, 2020; Khawaldah & Alzboun, 2022), and therefore, the economic impact of terminating TACs has been crystallized. Although the 2016 Regulation allows authorities to issue a working permit for the ones under TPR, it has always been hard to obtain for refugees and employers as it is provided in limited numbers by the Government.…”

“…Indeed, these factors affect their recruitment in the formal labour market in the hosting country. Therefore, refugees arrive in the host countries with lesser human capital than voluntary immigrants (Brell et al., 2020) and penetrate the labour market in various ways (Khawaldah & Alzboun, 2022). Besides refugees, voluntary immigrants are planned, prepared, and even chosen by the destination country under diversity or economic development programmes or by the companies to recruit (Dustmann et al., 2017).…”

Türkiye has a long history of hosting millions of refugees, but since the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011, it has emerged as the world's leading refugee‐hosting country. Due to this fact, the frequency of refugee inflows to Türkiye has attracted us to explore refugees' macroeconomic impacts as the ongoing political and social debates in Türkiye regarding refugees are immensely focused on their economic impacts. Hence, this paper investigates the effect of refugees on unemployment in Türkiye. The study utilizes the Auto Regressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) Bounds Test approach from 1991 to 2021. Our results yield the pronounced positive and aggravating impact of refugees on unemployment rates in Türkiye. Türkiye's policymakers should focus on local economic policies to improve the refugees' formal integration into the labour market to resolve the negative economic effect of refugee hosting on the labour market.

“…Human migration is driven by various factors, including conflict and resource scarcity, and its consequences have farreaching implications for displaced populations and host countries (Robertson & Hoffman, 2014). Environmental degradation, such as air and noise pollution and groundwater quality degradation, the strain on resources, such as increased demands on fresh water and infrastructure, social tensions, and economic challenges (Khawaldah & Alzboun, 2022) are a few of the multifaceted impacts of human migration on the environment (Meyerson et al, 2007).…”

Bangladesh, a third-world country with the 7th highest population density in the world, has always struggled to ensure its residents' basic needs. But in recent years, the country is going through a serious humanitarian and financial crisis that has been imposed by the neighboring country Myanmar which has forced the government to shelter almost a million Rohingya refugees in less than 3 years (2017–2020). The government had no other option but to acquire almost 24.1 km2 of forest areas only to construct refugee camps for the Rohingyas which has led to catastrophic environmental outcomes. This study has analyzed the land use and land surface temperature pattern change of the Rohingya camp area for the course of 1997 to 2022 with a 5 years interval rate. Future prediction of the land use and temperature of Teknaf and Ukhiya was also done in this process using a Machine Learning algorithm for the years 2028 and 2034. The analysis says that in the camp area, from 1997 to 2017 percentage of settlements increased from 5.28–11.91% but in 2022 it reached 70.09%. The same drastically changing trend has also been observed in the land surface temperature analysis. In the month of January, the average temperature increased from 18.860 C to 21.310 C between 1997 and 2017. But in 2022 it was found that the average temperature had increased up to 25.940 C in only a blink of an eye. The future prediction of land use also doesn’t have anything pleasing in store.
